Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DL Admin at none against Documents's 15. DL Admin also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Documents's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 19 months) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
